The only time I remember that the .com zone was pushed out of window
for a customer was one time AOL had a problem with AOL.com. I think
they let it expire by accident, not certain. Check the NANOG archives.
Interesting that AOL can force a push but "ianai.net" cannot. Is it
because they have more users? Would citibank.com be able to do the
same thing? How about xxxPR0Nxxx.com? I bet some of them have lots
and lots of users too.... :)
Other than that, I remember the .com zone being pushed mid-day when
there was an error during the over-night push.
